Thx Simon.

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg or /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg6 are in fact symbolic links. The situation is that installing ffmpeg5 creates /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg5 as symlinks, while the update of ffmpeg6 creates only /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg6

What happened is that as /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg did no longer exists after the update, the Lumin app would skip all flac files and not play them (while of course it played the dsf which I don't transform).

However, when I opened minimwatch I thought there would be a red message saying that /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg does not exist. But I had no such message, which I found weird...

I agree that best is to put the target instead of the link !

Best
